We are a family of eight, including a son with special needs. About 1 week ago, my husband injured his knee on the job and was denied workman compensation, and currently not working due to his injury. I have to seek emergency medical attention, due to abscessed teeth, and needs to be seen by an oral specialists. We have not enough money to pay for rent, must less take care of our health. Please if there is any helpful information, please contact me. I live in Ridgeville South Carolina. Thanks so much!

I was hurt at work and while off I was laid off. They refused to keep paying for cost associated so I was left with no choice but to hire a lawyer. I have filed for unemployment once I was able to work but I am still waiting to hear their decision. Since I was hurt, I will be paid some settlement once they go to court but have no idea when. So I am left with a mortgage past due and an emergency car payment past due and I am supporting myself and a 15 month child.

Am in desperate need of utility bill assistance as I was hurt at work and missed wages. My electric bill is over $600. Our household includes myself, my wife and our two small grandchildren. We have no other place to turn to with me being out of work for several months.
Any financial help for medical bills or utilities would be greatly appreciated. Lights due for cut off tomorrow thanks.

My name is Deb and I have been out of work due to a work injury that happened in November.
The company that handles our workman’s comp claims, denied my claim on February 22nd and I have been out of work without pay since then. I need emergency surgery due to the work injury and being hurt so bad.
I have surgery on my neck to treat the dislocated vertebrae that’s causing spinal cord compression, but during this process, I have no income and recovery is 2-6 months for this.
I need to know what my options are as I have never been in this type of predicament before.
I have no family or charitable groups I am affiliated with to help me pay for the emergency surgery.
I have a 15 year old son and 10 year old daughter who has opted to stay with her father and his parents because seeing me in this condition is causing her anxiety to flare up.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Since you were hurt at work, did you look into Family Leave? Otherwise known as FMLA. Most employers (if not all?) need to offer it. While we are not attorneys, you can look into it for emergency help. Find details here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... leave.html
